    This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar

    (I) Propan- 1-ol. butan-2-ol. butan- 1-ol. pentan- 1-ol 

    The compounds Propan-l-ol, butan-2-ol, butan-1-ol, pentan-1-ol belong to the alcohol family. The structure of the given  alcohols are as shown below:

    With increase in the molecular weight, the boiling points of alcohols increase. Hence, butan-1-ol has higher boiling point than propan-1-ol. Similarly, pentan-1-ol has higher boiling point than butan-1-ol.

    Hence, the increasing order of the boiling points of alcohols is propan-1-ol < butan-1-ol < pentan-1-ol.

    With increase in the branching of alkyl groups, the boiling point of alcohols dec
